Homework Statement



Find all Equilibrium points for the following systems.

B. dx/dt = 5x - x^2 - 3xy

dy/dt = 8y - 3xy - 3y^2


The Attempt at a Solution



0 = x(x + 3y - 5)
0 = y(y + x - 8/3)

Equilibrium points: (0,0) but I can't find anymore? is (0,0) the only one?

you have two equations for two unknowns:
x + 3y - 5 = 0
y + x - 8/3 = 0

solve for one of the variables and plug it into the other equation
 
Thank you.
 

Thread 'Finding the nth roots of a complex number'

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
